Refer to LANE PLACEMENT ERGONOMICS in the Appendix for information
regarding planning considerations which can maximize efficient traffic flow and
minimize nuisance alarms. Taking into consideration any installation from the
perspective of providing access control while minimizing the impact on the user’s
daily routine may allow security goals to be met more effectively.
PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Conduit or other cableway:
1. From Access Control System to each lane’s Electronics for Input and Output connections.
2. From each lane’s Electronics to opposite bollard for Motor, Lock, Position and Graphic
control.
Mounting Anchors or Floor Plate:
A solid, stable mounting point for each bollard is necessary to maintain proper optical alignment.
Refer to information included for Specifications, and Layout, Squaring, and Leveling Techniques.
Contact DSI Customer Support for additional information not found in this document.
We are available to assist you by calling 800 272 3555 - Option 2
PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The DSI Slimline Barrier Optical Turnstile is a very straight-forward installation when a little time is
taken to prepare before you begin.
You may take time now to read and understand the installation and operation instructions in order to get
an idea of what the system does and what is required from you to install your turnstile.
 Treat the units as you would any fine furniture or delicate instrument. Keep them out of harsh
environments. Do not store or install them where they will be exposed to inclement weather, or
extremes of humidity, dust, or temperature. This will insure that they will keep their appearance and
functionality for many years to come.
 When installing the wiring, be certain to strain-relief the cables to some hard point in the bollard and
leave enough service loop on each cable for any future repairs, component removal or upgrade. In
other words, take the time to route your wires in such a way that they will not be damaged, or in the
way, should the unit require servicing in the future.
 Precautions should be taken to properly ground the units to a known “Earth Ground”, during the
mounting process, to prevent any ESD (electro-static discharge) damage to the electronics during
installation and operation.

LAYOUT PLANNING
Placement :
 The bollards are designed to be placed in a parallel arrangement, not to exceed 38 inches between
bollards.
 Spacing of 36” between bollards is our standard.
(Custom ordered lane spacing may differ from standard)
 Mounting should leave a 2” gap between panels.
 Verify the design specification for each lane prior to attachment. Refer to architectural plans, or set
the bollards up in proper order, with barriers extended to determine appropriate spacing.
Ergonomics :
 The number of lanes required is determined based upon the peak traffic volume and available
space. Contact the DSI Sales team for additional information.
 The placement of the lanes should compliment the natural flow of traffic and not impede the flow any
more than necessary to achieve access control goals.
 Care should be taken in placing the bollards to ensure that the user may easily access the Reader
System* (I.E.: Mag. Card, Proximity, Biometric, etc. [*provided by installer/integrator]) while
maintaining a reasonable flow of pedestrian traffic. (Readers may be pre-installed on some
applications) See page 36 for Card Reader Mounting specifications.
Function :
 For technical and aesthetic reasons it is very important
to insure that the bollards are installed level and plumb
(horizontal and vertical), and in alignment with one
another (parallel). Obviously the installation will look
better, and it will make the setup and adjustment of the
optical sensors much easier. More about this will be
covered in the “Leveling and Aligning” section.
Quality Installation :
 Installers have found how attention to detail during layout, anchoring, and performing the
leveling techniques will save valuable time and prevent having to spend much more time
later correcting optical alignment issues.
 Verify the surface you are installing upon is not bowed or crowned. Shim Bollard to compensate for
uneven surfaces. See diagram for shimming on page 14.

BOLLARD ORIENTATION
SECURE / UNSECURE SIDES—DEFINED
In the above illustration the orientation of the bollards is shown to help installers understand the proper
placement of the Turnstiles in reference to the direction of traffic.
When entering the lane from the Unsecure or Entry side, the I/O Wiring for that lane will be located in
the bollard on the right when facing into the lane.
NOTE: Orientation should be determined prior to bolting
the bollard to the surface and running cables!

After planning for Layout and Orientation is complete:
BOLLARD UNCRATING AND MOVING
 Open crate to access Bollard.
 Each removed Cover should be carefully placed aside to avoid marring
finish or damage to Corian. Lay End Covers on their side as they are
top heavy.
 Remove the two Phillips screws at the top of each End Cover, then tilt
to remove. Disconnect cable from Graphic Display. Repeat for opposite
End.
 Remove two Phillips screws on top of Lower Cover. Unsnap cover from
the bottom of Bollard. Repeat for opposite side.
 Remove 2 bolts from each End Base and 4 bolts from Center Base.
that attach the bollard to the crate.
 Have anchor points ready with hardware necessary to secure bollard to
floor or plate.
 With a person at each end of Bollard, lift from under the stainless steel
Top Cover (attached).
 Bollards are top-heavy, use caution during transport and storage to
avoid damage from tipping.
 Secure to floor as soon as possible, avoid leaving the Bollard free
standing while unattended.
PANEL INSTALLATION STEPS
 End Cover: fit over base at an angle, re-attach cable to Graphic Display, tilt into vertical position, attach with screws.
 Lower Cover: secure with screws, then snap into mating Lower cover.
NOTE: When anchoring the Bollard, 1/4” bolts with fender washers and lock washers are recommended.

LAYOUT AND MOUNTING
BOLLARD LAYOUT
 Using a chalk line, or equivalent method, lay out the bollard arrangement. Bollard’s positions should be parallel and
square with each other.
 Verify the “on center” measurement to accommodate the bollard width and clearance for barrier operation prior to setting
anchors or drilling for conduit.
Here are two alignment tips which may be helpful:
Tip 1- Determining a “Right Angle” for alignment.
 Without getting into a lot of math, there is a simple way to build a Right-Angle
Triangle by using sides of 3', 4' and 5'.
 This method is based upon a geometric Theorem [a² + b² = c²]. Using this you
can calculate the length of the long side (C) of any right-angle triangle based
upon the known length of the other two sides.
Use this device to verify alignment by referencing a chalk line on the
floor.
Tip 2 - Alignment Check
 Once you have established a known right-angle to the initial chalk-line, you will
want to verify that each bollard is aligned to the adjacent bollard.
 You may do this by choosing a point on each end of a bollard, (for instance the
center of a mounting hole or a corner of a pedestal), you can measure in an “X”
pattern from one point to it’s opposite in the “X”.
 When the bollards are the correct distance apart and both lengths of the “X” are
equal, the bollards are in alignment.
VERTICAL ALIGNMENT
 Check level of the bollards vertically using a plumb or spirit level, use shims to make final adjustments.
ANCHORS
 Use appropriate anchors for the mounting surface. Loosely tighten prior to adjusting for level and plumb. (1/4” bolt
suggested)
 Tighten securely to prevent any movement of the bollard.
 Some custom models may have special mounting requirements.
Additional information will have been provided when necessary.
LEVEL
 Reference for leveling with Barrier Panels centered.
 Level the bollards horizontally using a straight edge and/or a spirit level
that will span two or three bollards at once.
 Use washers as shims between base and floor to correct for uneven
surfaces.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Electronics Package
The Electronics are found in the Top and Center sections of the Smart and Adjacent Bollards.
The Motor Drivers control the smart-side barrier and the remote-side barrier. These are
mounted in Center below the Tailgate Sensor boards. The Lane Power Cable connects to the
Motor Driver for the remote-side barrier.
Power and I/O connections are located under the Top Panel.
All other connections are pre-wired.
Sensors
The Tailgate Sensors are used to detect users moving through the lane. They detect direction of
user travel and isolate a tailgating user from a valid user. If beams are blocked for an extended
period an alarm will sound.
The Presence Sensors detect users in the lane to prevent Barrier operation from contacting a
user present in the swing zone.
The Breakover Switch detects a breakover state if the Barrier is forced.
Connection Boards
Power and I/O connections are made on boards located under the Top Cover.
Additional detail regarding these connectors is found in the Wiring section.
Barrier Panel
The standard Barrier is made of Clear Acrylic and is factory-installed on each Bollard.
Should repair or replacement be necessary, please call or email DSI Customer Support.
DSI contact information is located at the top of this page.

WIRING
TOP COVER
 Remove the 4 screws securing the Top Cover, then
remove cover and carefully place it to avoid marring the
metal finish.
CABLE ROUTING
 The Lane Power Cable is a single CAT5 Network-style cable that carries power and data to
the remote bollard for each lane.
 Power and I/O cables are pulled to each Smart bollard. Each lane has 1 Smart bollard.
 Adjacent lane bollards will have a Smart side and a Remote side.
 The last bollard in a set of lanes is a Remote bollard and only requires a Lane Power Cable
from a Smart or Adjacent bollard for that lane.
 Begin wiring from the Right-most bollard when facing from the Entrance (unsecure) side.
This bollard will have I/O and Power connections under the Top Cover.
 Route Lane and Power cables through the Bollard End. For access, remove 2 screws on
each End Cover and place covers aside to avoid marring metal finish.
 DSI recommends routing I/O cables through corresponding end of bollard.
 Leave adequate service loop in cables. Route cables to avoid contact with moving parts.
 Check conduit or cableway for airflow using a strip of tissue paper. If airflow is detected,
use an appropriate material to block airflow through conduit access hole. Airflow through
chassis may result in rapid dust accumulation on sensor optics which can lead to false
alarms and frequent cleaning requirements.
 Power Wiring must be of sufficient Gauge to provide 24VDC under load, measured at the
Power Input Connector.
POWER INPUT TERMINATION
 Use the included WAGO™ tool to remove and connect
the wires on WAGO™ connectors.
 Photo shows WAGO™ tool in use. Hook over edge and
press tab into connector to release spring holding each
wire.
